Wayfarer Bike Short

Q: What kind of chamois does the Wayfarer Bike Short use, and how supportive is it?

The Wayfarer Bike Short uses Terry&#39;s Flex Air Chamois, a women&#39;s-specific seamless chamois built with four-way-stretch Elastic Interface Technology for freedom of movement on the saddle. Its multi-level foam padding is perforated for breathability, and soft wing construction reduces bulk at the inner thigh to prevent chafing. This chamois is tuned for all-day comfort on regular and longer rides. Riders tackling centuries or multi-day touring may want Terry&#39;s more cushioned options, but for most road and recreational riding the Flex Air is well matched.

product care

Remove your shorts and launder asap for best results as residual sweat may damage the chamois. Wash only in delicate cycle at 86 degrees. Use neutral non-aggressive detergents, keep like colors together and avoid dryers. If you use chamois butter/cream, your garment's ability to wick moisture will be greatly reduced and the durability of your chamois may be compromised. Note: we recommend that you wash new bottoms prior to use.

Reviews

I really like these shorts,

"I really like these shorts, the fabric is smooth and comfortable. The chamoisis really great and the pocket on the side is kind of handy."

— Susan L. (5/5)

Nice change from black

"Love this navy color as a change from black to match blue palette jerseys. Side pockets are great for my cell phone or a credit card. I ordered a medium and the fit was as expected."

— Robyn S. (5/5)

Great bike shorts

"Very comfortable waistband. The chamois provides the right amount of cushioning without being bulky. I love the pockets! I bought a medium and it fits really well. I rode 15 miles & the shorts felt so good, I kept the on for the rest of the afternoon!"

— Anne R. (5/5)

My favorite shorts

"Comfortable for HOURS. Love these"

— Kaci W. (5/5)

Wayfarer

"Great padding and very comfortable, true to size."

— Michelle D. (5/5)

Chamois

"Great fit, legs are snug enough but not terribly tight. I did not find the leg trim be riding up, but then I have a chunkier leg. The chamois however was comfortable, BUT … there was a bit of extra fabric beyond the stitching edge that tended to roll up & cause a little chafing discomfort. My older pair, same style, has a 2nd stitched row which does not chafe. I might have considered giving a 3 ⭐️, but I liked the fit too much. (I would have posted a pic comparing both stitching types but the rating system doesn’t have that feature. )"

— Wendy M. (4/5)

SIMPLY THE BEST!

"Simply the best! I like a longer short because I'm 68 and I am more comfortable with the length. The fabric wicks away moisture and I like the level of compression it provides. I love the new emerald color, too! Something different is always fun. Chamois is cut just right and I like the high waist! Terry shorts are THE BEST!"

— Sheila C. (5/5)

too tight for a medium

"These were purchased for my sife eho wears a medium bike short from Terry in other styles. The material is not quite as stretchy and the sizing was definitely smaller than her other size mediums from Terry. But she does love Terry products and customer service is top notch."

— David E. (3/5)

Wanted Longer Inseam

"I bought these because I have Soleil shorts that I love but the 8. 5 inch inseam isn't long enough especially with looser hems. They ride up. I prefer the high top/waist of the soleil shorts. The perfect short would be the soleil with an 11 inch inseam!"

— Anita O. (5/5)

Bike short

"The waist band is a little higher than I expected, and therefore not as comfortable as I had wanted"

— Lori R. (3/5)

Q&A

Questions & Answers

What's the difference between the Wayfarer Bike Short and the Wayfarer 7 inch?

The Wayfarer Bike Short shares the same next-to-skin French performance fabric, wide high-rise waistband, and Flex Air Chamois as the Wayfarer 7 inch, but it has a longer 11 inch inseam for full thigh coverage. The 7 inch version offers a shorter, warm-weather cut with less leg coverage. If you want more thigh coverage, sun protection on long days, or simply prefer not to ride with a lot of leg exposed, the Wayfarer Bike Short is the version to choose.

Who is the Wayfarer Bike Short best suited for?

The Wayfarer Bike Short is for riders who want full thigh coverage and all-day comfort in the saddle. Its 11 inch inseam covers more of the thigh, while a wide high-rise waistband keeps the short in place without a muffin-top effect. The elastic-free, zig-zag stitched comfort hem won't bind against your thigh over long hours. If most of your riding is longer road or recreational outings where coverage and comfort matter more than a minimal cut, the Wayfarer earns its place.

Will the Wayfarer Bike Short stay comfortable on long rides without digging in at the thigh?

Riders who find cycling shorts bind or leave marks at the thigh tend to appreciate the Wayfarer Bike Short's elastic-free comfort hem. Instead of a gripper band, the 11 inch legs finish with a zig-zag stitched treatment that won't dig in or pinch over long hours. Paired with a wide, high-rise waistband that stays put, the Wayfarer is built to be the kind of short you can ride in all day without constant adjusting or pressure at the leg openings.

Does the Wayfarer Bike Short have pockets for a phone?

Yes. The Wayfarer Bike Short has two deep, open self-fabric side pockets at the hip, sized to hold a smartphone securely. This is useful for riders who like to keep a phone, a snack, or small essentials within reach without a jersey or hydration pack. The pockets are integrated into the short's design, so they don't add bulk or interfere with the compression fit and all-day comfort the Wayfarer is built around.

What kind of chamois does the Wayfarer Bike Short use, and how supportive is it?

The Wayfarer Bike Short uses Terry's Flex Air Chamois, a women's-specific seamless chamois built with four-way-stretch Elastic Interface Technology for freedom of movement on the saddle. Its multi-level foam padding is perforated for breathability, and soft wing construction reduces bulk at the inner thigh to prevent chafing. This chamois is tuned for all-day comfort on regular and longer rides. Riders tackling centuries or multi-day touring may want Terry's more cushioned options, but for most road and recreational riding the Flex Air is well matched.

Is the Wayfarer Bike Short good for sunny, long days outdoors?

The Wayfarer Bike Short is made from a French performance fabric that carries a UPF 50+ rating and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, so it adds meaningful sun protection across the covered area of your legs. Combined with the longer 11 inch inseam, it shields more thigh skin than a shorter cut would. If you ride long summer days or tend to burn, the Wayfarer's coverage and UPF-rated fabric make it a practical choice for extended time in direct sun.

When should I choose a different short instead of the Wayfarer Bike Short?

The Wayfarer Bike Short is built around an 11 inch inseam, so it's less ideal if you're a shorter rider or prefer less leg coverage in warm weather. In that case, the Wayfarer 7 inch Bike Short offers the same fabric, waistband, and chamois in a shorter cut. And if you're logging centuries or multi-day tours and want Terry's most cushioned chamois, the Long Haul Bike Short provides more support for sustained endurance riding than the Wayfarer's all-day-comfort tuning.

I want more thigh coverage than a typical cycling short gives — why pick the Wayfarer Bike Short?

If you feel more comfortable and confident with your thighs covered, the Wayfarer Bike Short is designed for you. Many riders simply prefer not to ride with a lot of leg exposed, and the Wayfarer's longer 11 inch inseam delivers full thigh coverage without sacrificing a performance compression fit. The elastic-free hem keeps that extra length from binding, so you get the coverage you want and the all-day comfort Terry builds into its women's shorts. Coverage preference is a legitimate reason to choose this version.
